Canāt believe itās been a year! Looking forward to see whatās next for the two of you.
Can you do a video on how much you earned from YouTube and sponsors also during that year
Really, really enjoyed every video you made this last year! What an adventure! And great job in the budget!
We have $24,000 budgeted for travel and we can go through that in 4 weeks of travel!
This year we did walk the Camino Frances so that was a little cheaper than our usual trips. We also got to go to Maui, Disneyland, and Colorado. Next year is Maui and Greece!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your 1 year journey around the world. Not only it was so fun traveling vicariously with you but also you guys inspired me to plan my travels next year! It is actually surprisingly less than what I thought which makes me think more realistic for me as well! Iām so looking forward to seeing more from your year two of your travel.
What a great journey! Thanks for taking us along.
So sad to see it end!! Wow I'll miss the adventures you took us on!!!
Hello Lisa and Josh, It seems to me that there's a little oversight here. Your calculations only work with 2 constants. These constants are Lisa and Josh. If both participants aren't on board, a holiday like this just won't work. Your Camino documentary turned out well, so should the next. Thankyou so much for this video
What a great summary. I've just recently jumped aboard but have had lots of fun traveling along with you. Can't wait to see what's next…š
When you say that next time you would move slower, do you mean you would spend more time in each location and take your time or you would still spend the same amount of time in each location and just do less while enjoying each area longer? Does that make any sense?
How many travel points total did you spend?
Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future. Love your content and the adventures you've shared with us. Best of luck in your next chapter!
Nerds unite!! š We love the points game, too! One you really understand the math, it can help the budget AND let you feel a bit glamorous every now and then. Excited to see what comes next. š
Thank you so much for sharing, this is so inspiring!!! Itās been fun watching you guys make your way around the world. š„° Good on you both!!
Really makes my day to accompany you on one of your journeys! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your sharing, I love watching your videos. How much exactly your initial budget at beginning of your travels? I am curious…
We re 4mos in and apparently need 2 cut way back 2 stay within 150% of ur numbers lol
Canāt wait to see whatās next for you guys, glad that our paths crossed and hoping to see you on the road somewhere next yearā¦ā¦. We can then compare spreadsheets and see expenditure
Congrats guys!!! Valuable stuff right here! Bravo!
Thank you for your videos! I used them to make plans for my first RTW trip, which starts in 3 weeks! I plan to track my expenses the way that you did, so weāll see how it shakes out. However, one thing that has already surprised me in this process is the pre-trip medical costs from the US. I have spent $4k for all the vaccines, malaria meds, 2 travel clinic visits, and routine checkups with my insurance. Thatās in addition to the technology upgrades (phone, tablet, headphones) and new travel backpack. I know that for myself I underestimated this whole pre-trip chunk of costs, so I intend to spread the word!
It has been one hell of a year. I have enjoyed every step of the journey. Looking forward to what's next. Thank you and peace be with you.
You guys did not go to the Philippines. My husband & I enjoyed the Philippines so much we wanted to move there. We traveled all over Europe, Asia, South America & the Philippines is one of our favorite.
Well Done & Congrats! This is how life should be š
Would love to see a video from you guys on using, transferring and converting points to mikes, tickets, to airlines, hotels, etc.
Great trip guys. Plenty of countries left for you to do another world tour (perhaps maybe include the UK next time). You could organise a meet up for some of your UK subscribers. One question- how long will it take to plan for your next trip? Loving the spreadsheet work!!
So helpful to know now that we're starting our own year-long trip!!! š The $700 on COVID tests was crazy to hear!!! hopefully this won't be a problem this year! (fingers crossed!)
Great breakdown. Can't wait for the doco. PS. I've just signed up for your Skillshare course. Even though I'm Aussie, I'm sure there will be tips there that I can use.
Sorry if I missed this elsewhere, but what cc or points builder are you using for travel rewards? Especially flights. Love this recap. We're hoping to do this type of trip once our baby is 2 or 3 š
Just so you are aware..the Sydney Swans, the team that lost to Western bulldogs in your Melbourne video..are into the grand final..go swannies
Good recap! I took the skillshare class and we are planning a 7 country 2023 trip š
We love the transparency throughout the entire video! We canāt believe itās already been a year! Congrats guys! š canāt wait to see whatās next
I need to know if you go back to South Korea and Japan?
I'm currently using your spread sheet to plan my 5 months in Japan, be travelling to Tokyo in Jan 2023 breaking the trip up with 28 days in South Korea
Loved travelling along with you around the world! It was super fun to watch your videosā¤
so is it 40k$ plus the points or 40k$ all in all including the points?
travel nerds so gooood
Iām late to this video and not trying to be an ad for United but have you guys heard of the Excursionist perk that United offers to Mileage Plus members. I have a Chase Sapphire as well and I transfer a lot of points to my United account. Itās not talked about often but it is such an amazing bonus for international travel. Search for it online if you havenāt heard about it to find out more about it but basically get a free award flight during multi-city bookings as long as you follow certain guidelines.
How did you raise the money?
Bonjour, i am planning my travel arround the World and i am currious about your point/miles thingy. Can you please explain more about how you saved money? Merci, Love France
Maybe Iām mistaken, but I watched your āaround the worldā video, and all I heard was Europe and South East Asia. Thatās not actually around the world. š¤
We followed you guys, my husband and I both took a gap year and travel around the world

AMAZING!!!!!! I think I spent 2x as much on alcohol and food for 1 week in Ireland!! AWESOME job!
That's a lot of money to spend
How old are yall
